Underground disco 45, “Magic Mandrake” from the Sarr Band, released on the Calendar label in the UK as both a 7″ & 12″ single with Double Action as a Double A side and also on the Canadian Unidisc record label.
Big with the Love Unlimited & many DJ’s in the UK & US (it was re-edited by Rahaan for his jisco records release) & has featured on many a mix from the States. With a distinctly European sound the vocal is nice & sleazy & has the killer line “Turn this dirty city into a rosepetal garden.”
This acts as a nice little taster for the next installment of our series of mixes courtesy of the Chuck Brothers that will be added to the love unlimited mixes archive soon.
In the same vein as MFSB for ‘Philadelphia International’, the Salsoul Orchestra where the in-house band for ‘Salsoul Records’. Vince Montana wrote, conducted and produced many of the orchestra’s releases.
The Orchestra had many arrangers & whole instrument sections contributing to their distinctive sound, with sessions attended by up to 50 members on a regular basis.
Plenty of quality musical goodness along the way to take your pick from, but here is the cracking ‘nice n naasty’ from 1976.
Disco Lover & member of Six Million Steps JJ takes his place in the love unlimited archive with a tight mix of disco, boogie & a few house classics. This mix sits nicely alongside JJ’s regular smoking sessions podcasts, you can sign-up for JJ’s podcast at the 6MS site.
If you have a passing interest in disco then check out the 6MS Sessions every Saturday morning on Starpoint Radio featuring disco, soul, boogie, house, funk & plenty of exclusive edits (many of their own), special shows and regular guests.
We hope you like.

DJ Cosmo (a.k.a Colleen Murphy) first began working at a record store in Boston, and it was music, too, that decided her pick of college: N.Y.U had a radio station and pretty soon she stepped up to become programming director of the station. After visiting parties at The Loft in ‘91, she invited David Mancuso to play on her radio show. Next, as the legendary DJ became a friend and musical mentor to Cosmo, she began spinning at The Loft alongside people such as Francois K., Lil Louis, Danny Krivit and managed the original Dancetracks record store with Joe Clausell by day. With friend Nikki Lucas she established the label Bitches Brew in London, founded a publishing company and released her own Ch’I productions as well as a host of other music. She is also a founding member of the Lucky Cloud Sound System, which puts on parties with David Mancuso (the Loft) at the Light in London four times a year.
“She’s very devoted and very pure about the music. She’s one of the only people I would trust, both with the music and with the equipment, to fill in for me.”
David Mancuso.
In January this year, Cosmo came to play in Nottingham at a party hosted by Basement Boogaloo at The Maze. She has kindly given us permission to post the recording that we made of her set for your listening pleasure….
Keep up with Cosmo via My Space, Cosmodelica, her regular show on Samurai FM, Cosmic Music, Bitches Brew and Lucky Cloud.
